Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that generate a depiction of a portion of a physical environment illuminated based on light provided by identified portions of a virtual light source. For example, an example process may include obtaining sensor data, generating a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction based on the sensor data, positioning a virtual light source relative to the 3D reconstruction, identifying a portion of the virtual light source based on unobstructed paths between the portion of the physical environment and the virtual light source, associating the portion of the virtual light source with the portion of the physical environment, and generating a view that includes a depiction of a portion of a physical environment illuminated based on light provided by the identified portions of the virtual light source.
